I’ve been in prison since the last edition but thankfully only to meet HMP IW Governor Andy Lattimore, who gave me an intriguing insight into what life is really like behind bars on the Island. I also called in to meet Richard Thornton, chief executive officer of Cowes-based UKSA, where nearly 2,000 Island youngsters each year are among those reaping the benefits THE ISLAND LIFE TEAM of the tremendous marine facilities on offer. Meanwhile, Jillie Wheeler from Bembridge talks about how she is continuing the legacy of her dog Cassie, who raised thousands of pounds for charity until its death earlier this year, and we also meet the Island’s world champion windsurfer Ross Williams, who tells us why he has every right to be on the crest of a wave! There are also the usual features including food and drink, health and beauty, motoring, countryside, gardening and the social scene. So sit back and enjoy, and please support our loyal advertisers who make it all possible. Peter White, Editor View all our pictures from the last eight years...
